The highly competitive Cruise Ship industry, with investments in multi-hundred-million-dollar ships, logistics, marketing, locations, are serious amounts. Thus they maintain absolute control on every means of funds available from their Discount-Clients, leaving scraps for local businesses & families. To encourage 50% of similar investments in local tourist facilities & locations, would advance the economies of many communities. That is what governments should be promoting, instead of beign mesmerized by impressive Cruise numbers with very Limited Impact. Minimize placing inumerable hurdles for participants & investors, both local & foreign.
Want to improve doing business in The Bahamas? Get rid of the 'What's in it for ME in My Kingdom?' A Mideavel Beaucrat-Pirate mindset. Mandated expensive professional services & approvals by uncooperative agency personnel who would rather be elsewhere, has been a common impediment every government that concentrates on hiring volumes of voters instead of talent. Government must provide incentives to worker performance beyond Low Wages in a High Cost of living environment. The 'who you know' game must be available to all, startups & wealthy.
Is it no wonder legitimate foreign investors refuse to work with Bahamas Government? Is it no wonder only Bigger Financial & Narco Criminals are willing? What Say You, People? This is your legitimate government? Wonder what Burke got to abandon $1m lawsuit.
